Additional Surfing Infos
 It's the best spot of the coast when it's big. If Lacanau is out of control (>2.5 m) come here. Always bigger in the water that it's seem out. Long and powerful waves, hollow tubes. It's a must.
There are several peaks but a long left at the left of the german bunkers seems to work often and regularly.
Strong Currents, be in a very good shape.
  Overview
  Atmosphere It's a very strange beach with german bunkers

yes!
I first went to Lacanau but when I arrived: the swell was already too big to surf. Long lines crashed all on the outside banks..... So I decided to go to Le Gurp. And it was a good decision: the swell was really easy to surf. Waves were around

good
ouch... if the waves were a little smaller than last week, they were more powerful, hollower and faster. The peak was moving a lot and there was some current. I was alone, gloups... But, after 30 mn of observation, I started to feel comfortable and
